The General Educational Development (GED) test is a nationally recognized assessment that affords individuals an opportunity to earn a high school credential. The high school credential earned by passing the GED test is accepted by 95% of U.S. employers, colleges and universities.
The GED test covers the academic knowledge and skills learned in four years of high school: reading, writing, social studies, science and mathematics. By passing the test, GED diploma recipients demonstrate the skills of communication, information processing, problem solving and critical thinking.
